Managing MIBs
A MIB is a file that contains information that enables you to correctly interpret specific information
from systems on your network and gives you a more precise view of the activity on your network.
To take advantage of this capability, the MIB must be registered to HP SIM. For more information,
see Registering a MIB.
HP MIBs enable you to take advantage of the rich management infrastructure that HP builds into
its products. HP MIBs are registered in the HP SIM database. You can find them in \hp\system
insight manager\mibs on a Windows CMS or in opt/mx/mibs on a UNIX or Linux CMS.
If you have third-party systems on your network, register them with HP SIM. For more information
regarding registering your MIBs, see Registering a MIB. Registration enables the MIBs to be
identified and traps to be interpreted to give you a more precise view of the activity on your
network. Always register the most recent version of a third-party MIB.

Viewing a MIB
After you register a MIB with HP SIM database, you can use additional mxmib options, such as
mxmib -l and mxmib -t can be used to view MIBs and their associated traps. For a MIB file
to be listed as registered, the MIB file must reside in the mibs directory.
CAUTION: Do not rename, move, or delete MIB files from the directory after they are registered.
You can also use SNMP Trap Settings (Options→Events→SNMP Trap Settings) to display registered
MIBs and their associated traps. Use this screen to modify Event Type, Description, Enable Trap
Handling, Category, and Severity attributes to further customize the information collected on the
network. For more information regarding editing a MIB, see Editing a MIB.
NOTE: The following HP SIM directories are default directories. However, the directories can
vary depending on the directory specified during HP SIM installation.
